Auto Body Repair
Your vehicle takes a beating—from parking lot scrapes to storm damage to full-on collisions. Whatever brought you here, Hammer's Autoworks has the training, equipment, and certifications to restore it.
What Is Auto Body Repair?
Auto body repair covers a broad range of services—anything that restores your vehicle’s exterior panels, structural components, and finish after damage. It’s different from mechanical repair, which focuses on what’s under the hood. Auto body repair is about what you can see, what protects you, and what holds your vehicle together.
At Hammer’s Autoworks, our auto body repair services are performed by I-CAR and OEM Certified technicians using OEM parts and procedures. Whether the damage is cosmetic or structural, we approach every job with the same standard: We’re gonna fix it right.
What Types of Damage Does Auto Body Repair Cover?
Auto body repair isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our team handles a wide range of damage types, including:
- Dents and dings from collisions, parking lots, or hail
- Crumpled or crushed body panels
- Scrapes, scratches, and paint damage
- Bumper damage – cracks, splits, or full replacements
- Panel misalignment after impact
- Damage to doors, fenders, quarter panels, and rocker panels

Common Questions Auto Body Repair in Springfield
Have questions about auto body repair? You’re not alone. Here are a few of the things we hear most often.
What's the difference between auto body repair and collision repair?
Collision repair specifically addresses damage from vehicle accidents—including structural and mechanical damage caused by impact. Auto body repair is a broader term that includes collision damage as well as other exterior damage like scrapes, dents from hail or parking lots, and panel replacement. At Hammer's, we handle both.
Can dents be repaired without repainting?
In some cases, yes. Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is an option for minor dents where the paint surface is still intact. Our technicians will assess your damage and recommend the most effective approach—whether that's PDR or a full panel repair and refinish.
Will my insurance cover auto body repair?
That depends on your policy and the nature of the damage. Collision coverage typically applies to accident damage, while comprehensive coverage may cover things like hail or vandalism. We work with all major insurance carriers and can help you navigate the claims process from start to finish.
How do I know if a panel needs to be repaired or replaced?
Our technicians will assess the damage and make that call based on the extent of the impact, the condition of the panel, and what approach will produce the best result. We'll always explain our recommendation and why before any work begins. All of our repairs are also backed by our lifetime warranty—we stand behind the work we do.
Does auto body repair affect my car's warranty?
OEM Certified repairs performed to manufacturer specifications should not void your vehicle’s warranty. Using non-OEM parts, as Direct Repair Program (DRP) shops commonly do, or substandard repair methods can create issues—which is one of the key reasons our OEM certification matters.
